- Discoloured, yellow sealant
How we handle bath resealing in King's Walden
Baths are resealed with water in them, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We regularly repair basins & vanity units, baths and kitchen worktops & sinks, and the jobs we see most are missing sealant behind the taps and black mould in the sealant.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it.

Related advice
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Hollow or loose tiles
- A flexing bath
- Gaps so wide they need filling or trims before sealing
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Kitchen worktops & sinks
- Baths
- Shower trays & enclosures
- Basins & vanity units
- Wet rooms
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Looking after it afterwards
So the finish stays in good condition:
- Wipe the joints dry after use
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
Don’t scrape the sealant with anything sharp, and do not stand bottles on the seal.
Reseal before water gets in. Split or lifting sealant is a sign it’s time.
Common problems we fix in King's Walden
A bathroom without good ventilation is hard on sealant: damp hangs around, and mould takes hold.
The things clients normally mention when they call are:
- Silicone smeared on tiles
- Gaps in the seal
- Leaks at the edges
- Black spots in the silicone
What your quote should include
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How to care for the finish
